Dosage of testosterone

[IamNotShepard]

Hi,

Is it good to have dosage of 100mg testosterone enanthate per 7 days? I am not taking anything else. No HCG, no AI. Just testosterone.

Thanks.

So what you saying is you're injecting 100 mg of testosterone once-weekly? Would be nice to see your labs and how are you feeling. Most men would rather inject 50 mg twice per week.

That is correct. You think that levels should be good and stable regardless of the injection taking place once a week?

The best answer we can give you is...perhaps. It depends on where your SHBG sits, what your total and free testosterone level was prior to the start of therapy, and where your estradiol/sensitive settles.

How are you feeling?

This dosage is quite new to me for now. The first dosage i was taking was 100mg per 10 days. And total testosterone level on 7th day after injection was 14.100 nmol/l which is like 406 ng/dl. SHBG was 47.3 nmol/l. Free T was 25.36 pmol/l. After that, the dosage was increased to 200mg per 10 days. But i started to have problems with erections and low sex drive. Problems which i never had, including prior to trt. I never tested it but the problem might have been estriadol which is why i lowered the dosage to 100mg per 7 days. The test results of being on 200mg per 10 days was: Free T 40 pmol/l. Total T after 4 days of injection - 48 nmol/l . Total T after 8 days of injection - 29 nmol/l. Total T after 10 days of injection - 21 nmol/l. Prior to TRT my test results were like 19 nmol/l of total testosterone. SHBG was like 70 nmol/l. Free testosterone was somewhere around 24 pmol/l. But once i had like 41 pmol/l of free testosterone if i remember correctly. So i guess prior to TRT my total testosterone was okay. The problem was free testosterone. And it still is a problem. I am on testosterone for about 7 months right now. I will be having my second injection of 100mg per week in 4 days. I hope that i will improve on that dosage. It's more than it was on the begging.

Many men do just fine injecting just once a week, if you're feeling good you probably don't need to change your injecting schedule.
